“Tried it 2-3 time. I hate the wolf mechanic, having an axe i should be able to at least try to defend myself. The hiding in the bush thing is boring and doesnt make sens. This game looked very promising, but so far its boring and…”
“It felt like a survival game on rails. Go here, do this exact thing, wait, go there do this exact thing, wait, don't go, wait, go there, wait. The graphics are nice but what I played wasn't fun enough to continue.”
